Sisters Hill Farm located in Stanfordville, NY in the Hudson Valley, is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project of the Sisters of Charity of New York. The farm provides pesticide-free organic vegetables from June to Novemeber to 185 shareholders, who receive between 5-15 pounds of produce each week. Shares are distributed at the farm and also at Mount St. Vincent in the Bronx.In addition to growing healthy vegetables in an environmentally sustainable way, one of the main goals of the farm is to donate approximately 25% of the harvest to soup kitchens, food pantries, meals-on-wheels programs and needy families. As advocates for people who are poor for more than 180 years, the Sisters of Charity of New York see this project as a natural extension of their work, and as a means to help restore the lost connection between people and agriculture.

* This 186 acres of woodlands is used by the city-based Sisters primarily during the summer months to reconnect with the land. A garden on the site is part of a community supported agriculture project. Spiritual growth and development centers include Dominican Center ,Villa St Joseph, and Villa St Dominic. The Sisters hope one day to be involved with the land as a full-time residential community. [2001]
